Swing and Catch

This is a game of fun and skill to play alone or with a friend. You will need: a large paper cup, a small empty thread spool, and a 60 centimeters piece of string. Punch hole in center of bottom of paper cup. Thread string through hole, knotting end inside of cup. Tie spool on other end of string. To play, hold paper cup in one hand, and let spool hang down. With a quick forward motion of your arm, swing spool high in the air and try to catch it in the cup as it falls. The one with the most catches during the specified time period wins.
